According to Variety’s sources, the 54-year-old star had excessive amounts of control, down to the smallest details. During the New York premiere Cruise even admitted he was a perfectionist: “I don’t just make a movie. I give it everything I have and I expect it from everyone also.” It is alleged that Universal gave the […]

Enlarge / More pupils means more evil. (credit: Universal Pictures) I’m surprised it has taken this long for Tom Cruise to tank an otherwise decent film. His Scientology-related controversies haven’t been followed by any big film failures—far from it, considering that he has multiple decent Mission: Impossible and Jack Reacher films under his belt at this point.

Universal’s The Mummy is out in theaters right now and kicks off the studio’s planned “Dark Universe” of Marvel-style interconnected films, but it looks like it contains an easter egg that doesn’t have anything to do with setting up future movies. This specific shout-out pays tribute to director Stephen Sommers’ 1999 take on The Mummy that starred Brendan Fraser and […]
The Mummy isn’t a remake of the 1999 blockbuster starring Brendan Fraser. Nor is it a remake of the 1932 horror classic starring Boris Karloff.

Following the success of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, with film characters crossing-over various movies, it’s not a surprise that other studios have followed suit. With a backlog of major movie monsters, from Dracula and Frankenstein, to The Invisible Man and The Mummy, Universal have decided to reboot their property with the Dark Universe. Kicking the […]

Given how King Arthur and Baywatch have both recently tanked after their critical bashings, how will The Mummy fare? According to Variety, current estimates put it between $ 35 and $ 40 million for its opening […]

Alex Kurtzman‘s first entry in the shared universe is a strangely subdued movie: the scares aren’t scary enough, the humor is often forced and out of place, and the adventure never feels adventurous enough. Grand-scale spectacle and monsters don’t mix well in the film. […]
The major reviews have started coming in and the overall consensus is a disaster for the ambitious plans from Universal Studios to launch a new franchise involving classic monsters from The Mummy to Dracula, The Wolfman, The Hunchback of Notre Dame and Dr Jekyl and Mr Hyde. The film currently holds a poor 29% aggregate […]
